Crusing Day

     We woke to sunshine and warmer weather today.  I could see Cuba along our port side.  It is very mountainous.  The ocean here is 3300' deep and has pretty good size rolling waves today.  We spent the day relaxing on the pool deck.  There is a good Jamaican band playing and lots of sun.  The pool is chilly but the hot tubs are wonderful.  We are both careful with sunscreen and staying in the shade.  Lots of folks already look pretty red.
    Late in the afternoon we went to a show on the small ice rink on the ship.  It was amazingly good despite the small area and the rocking ship.  Tonight dinner was formal so we dressed up and had dinner with folks from Michigan, California and Venezuela (not much English).  As darkness fell the boat began to speed up which means that the stabilizers couldn't be used.  It was pretty rocky, but I love to stand on the balcony and look at the stars with waves just surging along the side of the ship.  Must be my Norse ancestors coming out in me.
